Has scored TWICE on offense, once rushing & once RECEIVING.

Big 12 DL of the year

We’ve ALL seen what happens when you bring heat up the middle.
Instant pressure can blow up run and passing games. Byron has shown the consistent ability to destroy pockets & take QBs off their spots.

Super talented & eager to learn and get better.

Not sure if he makes it to Day 2, but if so I’d be curious to see what the Saints do if he is there @ pick 45.

Would be floored if he drops to 45, but I know crazy things happen on draft day. I covet both him and Newton and would not be mad if either was our day one pick. I know we need o line talent, but there’s some to be had in the later rounds. Either one of those guys paired with Bresee would draw some attention to those young studs and leave some opportunities for our DE’s to eat

Maybe we should close the cafeteria two days before they play so that they are famished and ready to eat!

I'm not sure if he'll make it to number 14.

I believe you are right.

Erick All
TE
Iowa

Probably the second best route (behind Bowers) runner
Slot type TE | natural hands
Transferred from Michigan as a JR.
Good zone blocker

5th - 7th rd grades

If Caleb Williams fell to the Saints, would anyone here want him?

(I wouldn't touch him with BostonSaints ten foot pole)

Interesting thoughts leading up to tomorrow night.

Could be a smokescreen but Loomis sounds as if trading up (he mentioned moving up 6 or back) isn’t out of the question & they could select another position besides OT?

Doesn’t appear as though they are done in Free Agency as well.

Well James Hurst has just retired so that leaves a offensive line something like

Penning - Saldiveri - McCoy - Ruiz - Young

and a reserve of

Udoh - Evans - X - X- Kramer

And a broken Ramczyk who at best will probably start the season on IR, if not miss the whole season and retire next year

So it going to be O-line early and should be often. Don't think they can mess around and trade back and take a more project and hope for more picks.
